PlayCrafter Awarded Maker Faire Editor's Choice Award

We had a booth at the Maker Faire this past weekend. Even despite the last minute nature of things, our setup worked out great. We were able to borrow a friend's flat screen TV to show off a game being created. And we had 3 workstations set up for people to try PlayCrafter for themselves.

It was great to see people's enthusiasm for PlayCrafter. We ran out of the 500 or so business cards we had brought.

We ended the weekend on a high note since PlayCrafter was awarded a Maker Faire Editor's Choice Award. We were very proud to display our blue ribbon since there were so many great things at the fair and only a few got this award.
